2009 will be Swingmonkey's 8th year in operation and in celebration, we've upgraded the site.
In technical terms, the site now runs on Drupal 6.x, a modern Content Management System (CMS) which offers a ton more features than our previous system.
What this means to you is the following new features:
Come dance to ETTB as they celebrate the holidays with this swing dance! Free dance lesson at 7:30; ETTB: 9-12:30, Cash Bar, complimentary parking, all ages welcome! Admission gets you into both Swing City and the "Annex", a room downstairs where you can dance to West Coast! Two dances, one cover!
Happy Holidays!!!
Dance the night away with swinging tunes by a LIVE BAND! Come to meet a friendly bunch of people for social dancing.
All ages and abilities; no partner is required. Just bring a desire to dance and a big smile. Ice water, punch, light snacks provided (no alcohol).
7:30 - 8:30 PM: Free beginner lesson for East Coast Swing
8:30 - 11:30 PM: Open dancing to "Johnny and The East Coast Rockers"
Directions:
Class I: Improving Connection 3:00-4:00 pm
So you’ve mastered the basics? It’s time to put more focus into their mechanisms and make them feel fantastic- no matter how simple the pattern. This class will take your plain vanilla basics and add a little more depth and flavor to them by helping you tune in to your partner and the connection that makes swing a partner dance.
Class II: Building on the Basics 4:15-5:15 pm
